Thanks guys, always nice to get a little recognition at home. It was a good one to write, though it ended up longer than originally intended. I just got back from Nepal last night so have only just seen the mag in the flesh an hour ago. Katie and the Alpinist team did a really good job, as expected.

For non-subscribers, I don't know where to get Alpinist in Australia now. Mountain Equipment in Kent St, Sydney, used to have it but they didn't have any in stock today.
